(Ask for collection, ask for collection.) ）

The two of them panted and climbed up the mound, and sure enough, as soon as the people arrived, the ghost fires were gone, and there was a dead silence on the mound. The area of this mound is only thirty or forty steps square, the trees on it are rich, mostly pines and cypresses, there are dozens of graves overgrown with wild grass, and there is a new grave at the eastern edge, which is the grave of dozens of corpses found by clearing the wild grass on the edge of the house a few days ago, and Huang San led people to bury them all here.

Even if there is no ghost fire, in such an environment, Wang Yuan still feels a chill down his spine, let alone Lan Xinhui. She had been holding Wang Yuan's arm tightly, not daring to let go for a moment, trying her best to hide the white frightening on her nervous face.

Wang Yuan coughed to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "This place is not bad, let's build a pavilion here in the future, and it is not bad to enjoy the cool and play the piano in this forest in summer." Didn't Wang Majie have a poem that said: The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream? I think it's also very good here. ”

Lan Xinhui forced a smile, she really couldn't agree with Wang Yuan's opinion, there are old graves all over the place, barren grass and sky, where is an elegant place, playing the piano here, she was scared to death first.

"Childe, let's hurry up and find the fir tree here, I'm very uncomfortable staying here."

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you hold the lantern, you can take a closer look." What does the fir tree look like? Tell me, I'll help find it. ”

Lan Xinhui looked around with wide eyes, and suddenly pointed to a tree trunk in front of her and said, "That one seems to be." ”

Wang Yuan was overjoyed, the two walked over quickly, only to see an old grave, there was a tree with a thick bowl, Lan Xinhui approached the trunk and looked around carefully: "It is this kind of tree, the bark of the white elm tree is yellow and white, rough and tangled, and there are pimples similar to human eyes." ”

Wang Yuan walked around the tree according to her characteristics, nodded and said, "That's it, it should be right." ”

Lan Xinhui said: "There is another recognizable place, the white elm tree flowers first and then leaves, and blooms in March and April, and there should be flower bones on the branches at this moment." Childe broke a branch and came down to take a look. ”

Wang Yuan looked up and saw that there was a horizontal branch growing obliquely at a high place, so he jumped up and grabbed a branch and tore it off, approached the lantern to take a closer look, and saw that there were bulging buds on the branches, and after pinching them with his fingernails, the tender white petals fell down, which showed that this was a flower bone, not a bud of a leaf.

Wang Yuan was overjoyed and said: "The fang of the east gate is indeed an indication of the location, so does it indicate that the treasure is hidden somewhere under this tree?" Or is there any clue here? ”

Lan Xinhui frowned and looked not far away and said, "Childe, it doesn't seem to be that simple, the one over there seems to be a white elm tree." ”

Wang Yuan was stunned, and a few steps away, there was another tree with the same bark texture and similar size. The two walked over to confirm that it was correct. Next, the two of them found seventeen or eighteen fir trees on the mound, scattered all over the mound. Now Wang Yuan was dumbfounded.

"This ...... Could it be that the mound could not be leveled? Isn't that as stupid as the diggers? The fir of the east gate, there are too many fir trees. Wang Yuan said annoyedly.

Lan Xinhui said: "Son, don't worry, isn't there a secret word behind?" And that's just the first sentence. At least it verifies that the sentence of the East Gate is correct. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and thought about it: "What I said is that the second sentence is 'The moon rises brightly, and the best people are young' from Chen Feng's "Moonrise", what does this mean?" The moon rises and the moon rises, is it because the moon rises that the clues can be discovered? The east gate refers to the place, and the moonrise refers to the time, which makes sense from the point of view. But there is a moonrise every day in a month, but the time is early or late, and the difference between the new moon and the waning moon is not even more uncertain. ”

Lan Xinhui said: "The sentence of moonrise is obviously related to the moon, the moonrise is bright, the moon is bright, does it refer to the full moon of the fifteenth?" Maybe the full moon night will come again, and maybe there will be a reward. ”

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Maybe you're right, the bright moon or the specific time of the full moon seems to have to wait until the fifteenth night to verify it." We've been trying to figure out if we can make more progress.

The two wandered around the hill for a while, but finally had no choice but to return the way they came. After entering the house, Wang Yuan sent Lan Xinhui back to his residence, and then said goodbye and returned to his yard.

The lights in the room were on, and Li Xin'er had already returned, sitting on the bed in a daze. Seeing Wang Yuan enter the door, he hurriedly got up and greeted him and said, "Where have you been so late?" I searched around but couldn't find you. Why do you have so much dirt and grass clippings on you? Where did it go? ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I can't sleep at night when I stay alone in the empty room, so I walk around the outside of the house casually." ”

Li Xin'er chirped: "The dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and asked, "Have you met Li Heng?" ”

Li Xin'er nodded and said, "See, the prince has new instructions." ”

Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a displeased face: "Didn't you report my words to the prince?" I want you to tell the prince not to rush to give orders, or I won't be serving. ”

Li Xin'er hurriedly said: "Erlang, don't worry, the prince doesn't want you to do anything, but to tell you some secret things about entering the palace to see the driver, so that you can gain a foothold in the future." The prince said, since the Yang family wants to recommend you, this matter is basically a foregone conclusion, and the difficulty is how to gain a firm foothold in the future. ”

Wang Yuan said: "This is still like words, what advice does he have?" ”

Li Xin'er said: "Your Highness wants to tell you personally." ”

"You mean, he wants to see me?"

"Yes, Your Highness said that before you enter the palace, he will meet you in person and talk to you in detail. Then he will not come to see you again, lest you be in trouble. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said: "The whereabouts of the crown prince are not kept secret, otherwise how could Li Linfu make such a big wave, when he saw me, didn't he tell Li Linfu that I was the prince's person?" What the hell does this prince think? ”

Li Xin'er said in a low voice: "I mentioned this matter to the prince, and the prince said, this time, please go to Shaoyang Courtyard to see him, in the prince's mansion, there will never be Li Linfu's eyes and ears." ”

"Shaoyangyuan? That's to enter the Daming Palace, in what capacity do I go in? ”

Li Xin'er stood up and walked to the bed, picked up a package from the bed and spread it on the table, and there was actually a set of armor in the baggage.

"What is this?"

Li Xin'er said: "Tomorrow night, on the second watch, you can put on this set of Mingguang armor, and you can enter the palace as the prince's personal guard, this is a waist card." ”

Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and took the waist card placed on the armor, the black iron waist card has words on the front and back, the front is the prince's personal guard, and the name is engraved on the back: Li Gang.

"Your Majesty has been in Xingqing Palace these days, so when you enter and exit Daming Palace, you only need to show your waist card and report your name, and the inventory is not strict. After you enter the palace, someone will take you to the Shaoyang Courtyard to see the prince. ”

"You're not going with me?"

Li Xin'er smiled and said: "Erlang, don't worry, I will accompany you, but I can't show up, the prince said that he wants you to go alone, which means that he won't let me accompany you, this time the meeting with you is top secret, except for me, only Li Fuguo and the prince know." And when you talk, I'm afraid that Li Fuguo can't be there. ”

Wang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, in order to live in peace in the future, I have to meet the prince tomorrow night." I'm just worried about what difficult tasks he proposed, I entered Luoyimen just so that I could move between all parties, so as not to be cannon fodder in the dumping of their power, but if I want to really do things for the prince, I still have to think about whether to help or not. ”

Li Xin'er said: "I understand, but superficial articles are always to be done." The master said that your situation is the most dangerous, stepping on two boats, once you are recognized, you will only have a dead end. To disguise this relationship, you need to be superficial and not pretentious. ”

Wang Yuan nodded in agreement, there has never been a good end to being a grass on the wall in a power struggle, but Wang Yuan really didn't think about who to help in his heart. The Yang family is currently the only force he can rely on, and the Yang family will inevitably be liquidated in the future. And the person who liquidated the Yang family was the crown prince Li Heng, but he just despised the prince's personality, a person who could even give up his own crown princess, and even his most loyal cronies could let them be killed by Li Linfu but put aside their involvement, maybe he could be called wise in the overall situation, or he could become a hero, but in the hearts of ordinary people, he could only be regarded as a personal scumbag.
